This is going to sound dead thick. But I'm used to it LOL! We are waiting for compost bins to come, never tried it yet, and on reading these posts I'm sitting wondering how you turn compost inside one of those dalek bins ??

Well you could tip it all out and put it all back in to mix it up or you could get a fancy gadget like this or you could just use a garden fork like I do. Push it in as far as it will go and twist and lift a few times.
